Usage 
Information
Use this command to attach an interface to a configured VRF. You can attach an 
interface to either a non-default VRF or a management VRF. To assign a port-back 
to a default VRF, remove the interface associated with the VRF. You can use this 
only if there is no IP address configured on the interface.
There must be no prior Layer 3 configuration on the interface when configuring 
VRF.
VRF must be enabled prior to implementing this command.
You can configure an IP subnet or address on a physical or VLAN interface that 
overlaps the same IP subnet or address configured on another interface only if the 
interfaces are assigned to different VRFs. If two interfaces are assigned to the same 
VRF, you cannot configure overlapping IP subnets or the same IP address on them.
